Research progress of the correlation between gene polymorphism and stroke

<p>Stroke is a common disease which has serious impact on human health in modern society. It has complex pathogenesis and wide-ranging influencing factors. Accompanied with the development of molecular genetics, a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be closely related to the incidence of stroke in case-control studies on the correlation between genes and stroke by using molecular biology technologies. In order to have a better understanding on the correlation between gene polymorphism and stroke, this summary presents a review of literatures reported at home and abroad over the past year on the genetics of stroke.</p><p> </p><p><strong>DOI: </strong>10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2015.02.002
